Snow Leopard (cheers!) and Safari 4 (boo!)

But, everyone has been yapping about how good Safari 4 is (see cool picture of one of its cool visual screens), so I moved everything over to Safari 4 and have to say this: Safari 4 is a bust for me. It crashed a dozen or so times the last three days, mostly when I was dealing with my blog (Movable Type, Beliefnet’s site) and I have migrated back to Firefox.

Safari 4 on Snow Leopard is now my primary browser, and I’m not noticing any unusual amount of crashing. Of course, I use the ClickToFlash plugin to block Flash content, which is the primary cause of crashes.
Any insight from the crash logs? (Go to your Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports folder and look for recent ones whose name starts with “Safari”.)

I’ve been using Safari 4.03 since it came out without problems (though I’m running it on Tiger). I plan to wait for 10.6.1 to be released before switching to Snow Leopard. But I’m getting antsy! Looks like all my apps should work OK.
Chad (4), I know this is not a Mac-help site, but there are some workarounds for printers that don’t have up-to-date drivers — though HP printers seem to be problematic for many. You might want to check out http://www.macworld.com/article/142631/2009/09/snowleopard_printing.html

I keep hearing that programs never crash on Macs — stable platform and all that. (Go back to Firefox for a few months until they work out the compatibility issues and then try it again. You’re probably just ahead of the wave.)

Never had a single problem, both with Safari on MacBook and Safari
on the PC at work. Make sure you did everything right and try again.
All you need is to see the display of a few websites on both browsers,
there’s no comparison.

Not yet felt the need for a Leopard. I’m still happy with Tiger 10.4.11 on my Intel iMac.
Safari 4 never crashes but I have constant problems with Firefox (3.0.3), “freezing” at least once a day, when I have to quit and restart to unfreeze it. Yet I still prefer Firefox! Probably because I’m so used to it.

FWIW, I’ve been using Safari 4 on Snow Leopard (latest patches) for two months now at work and it crashes regularly. Boo! I can see one tab crashing, but it shouldn’t take the whole browser down if they really re-engineered it versus just a lame plug-in bandaid.

Our Common Prayerbook 30 - 3Psalm 30 thanks God (vv. 1-3, 11-12) and exhorts others to thank God (vv. 4-5). Both emerge from the concrete reality of David's own experience. Here is what that experience looks like:Step one: David was set on high and was flourishing at the hand of God's bounty (v. 7a).Step two: David became too

Theology After Darwin 1 (RJS)One of the more important and more difficult pieces of the puzzle as we feel our way forward at the interface of science and faith is the theological implications of discoveries in modern science.

Almost Christian 4Who does well when it comes to passing on the faith to the youth?

Let's Get Neanderthal!The Cave Man Diet, or Paleo Diet, is getting attention. (Nothing is said about Culver's at all.)
